Finasteride 1mg Vs 0.5mg X 2 Per Day Which Is Better?

i'm not yet started finsateride. but i want to know if taking half morning and night is better than taking full tablet at night.

because it also influences hormone levels in body at different times and consistent effect of finasteride.

The prescription is 1mg once a day for a reason. I understand the elimination half-life for Adults: 5–6 hours; Elderly: >8 hours, but dht levels take a couple days to bounce back. DHT does not drop for 5-6 hours and then bounce back to 100%.

Either way, the results would be fairly similar and 1mg of finasteride would be consumed every 24 hours, 7mg every week, 30mg every month.

And what about the base ingredient? some base ingredients dissolve quickly and some slowly. its not a costly thing for a company manufacturing finasteride, but research for this will costs more. may be some company fina is not good for some people who are sensitive to high dht or something like that? so i created new post for this https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/does-finasteride-base-component-matters.119884/
